CHAPTER 12

OVERVIEW

Your compact, lightweight wireless mobile bubble ink-jet printer uses with a high-quality 3-colour print

cartridge to print borderless photographs in very high photo quality on photo or plain paper. With the

possibility of being operated with rechargeable batteries, and equipped with a wireless Bluetooth

interface, this printer becomes an inseparable companion during your moments of leisure.

You can enjoy your printer in the convenient PC-free or stand-alone mode, whereby you can print A6

size photographs by plugging your PictBridge, DPOF, or non-PictBridge/DPOF digital camera directly

into the printer’s USB interface without needing to connect the printer to a computer or even turn the

computer on. You can also insert your memory cards into the related slots on the printer, select and

directly print the photos that are stored in them. Furthermore you can print straight from your wireless

Bluetooth PC or mobile phone via the printer’s integrated Bluetooth interface.

You can also enjoy your printer connected to a personal computer via the printer’s second USB

interface. In this way, you can also work in the same way as in the PC-free mode but also take full

advantage of the document management and bundled software provided on the "Installation" CD-

ROM that came with the product.

note: If you want to connect your printer to a personal computer, the computer must be running the

Microsoft Windows 98, SE, Me, 2000 or XP operating system, or MAC OS 10.3 or later.

TURNING YOUR PRINTER ON AND OFF

Turning On Your Printer

Press the ON/OFF button on the printer control panel.

The printer will execute a series of autodiagnostic tests aimed at detecting any possible system

malfunction. Any error detected at this time will be signalled by the control panel, or by the personal

computer if connected to the printer. See "Meaning of the Indicators on the Control Panel" for the

corrective actions in case any error is detected.

Upon the successful completion of the autodiagnostics, the printer’s idle screen is displayed on the

control panel LCD.

When you connect a non-PictBridge digital camera to the printer or insert a memory card in the

appropriate memory card slot, all of the icons on the control panel will illuminate. When you connect a

PictBridge digital camera only the Print button will turn off to indicate that printing is controlled directly

from the attached digital camera.

Turning Off Your Printer

To turn off your printer when you finished working with it, press the ON/OFF button on the control

panel. All the lights on the control panel, and the LCD, will turn off.

GETTING STARTED 11

CONNECTING A DIGITAL CAMERA TO YOUR PRINTER

2 With your printer powered on, plug one end of the digital camera’s USB cable to the USB connector on

the camera.

3 Open the printer’s left outer door by pressing the upper centre part of the door to release it. Plug the

other end of the USB cable into the printer’s USB connector.

note: When you connect a PictBridge digital camera to your printer, the print icon on the control panel

will turn off to indicate that printing will be controlled directly from the digital camera. Read your

camera’s User’s Guide for instructions on how to print your photos.

INSERTING AND REMOVING MEMORY CARDS

Your printer can read the following memory storage devices: Compact Flash I, II, Microdrive,

SmartMedia, SecurDigital and MultiMedia cards, Memory Sticks (Duo, Pro, Magic Gate) and xD-Picture

cards.

note: Adaptors for reading Mini SD and MS Pro memory cards can be purchased separately.

Your printer can recognize and print the following file formats stored on the memory cards: DCF, JPEG,

Extif and DPOF.

Inserting a Memory Card

Before inserting the memory card into its related slot, follow these insertion guidelines according to the

card that you are using:

• When inserting a CompactFlash card, make sure that the label is facing upward (if the label has an

arrow it needs to be pointing towards the printer) with the metal pinholes entering the printer first.

• When inserting a Multimedia and SecureDigital cards, make sure that the angled corner is on the

right and the metal contacts are facing downward.

• When inserting a SmartMedia card or a Memory Stick, make sure that the angled corner is on the

right and the metal contacts are facing upward.

• When inserting a xD-Picture Card, make sure the curved side of the card is facing you and the metal

contacts are facing downward.

note: It is important that you remember the correct orientation of the card when you insert it into the

printer as inserting it any other way could damage the card and the printer.

CHAPTER 112

Proceed as follows:

1 Open the printer’s left outer door by pressing the upper centre part of the door to release it, so you

can access the memory card slots.

2 Orient your specific memory card as indicated at the beginning of this section, carefully insert it into the

selected slot and then gently push it in until it stops.

The following figure shows an example of the insertion of a Compact Flash card.

note: The memory card does not go in all the way; do not try to force it in since doing so will damage

the card and the printer.

If the card is inserted correctly, an icon is displayed on the LCD indicating the total number of photos

stored on the memory card (only the compatible files are opened and counted).

Removing a Memory Card

1 Carefully pull the card completely out of its slot. To remove a Compact flash card, push the extraction

button located on the side of the insertion slot.

CAUTION: DO NOT remove the memory card while it is still being accessed either by the printer or

personal computer. Doing so could damage the photos stored on the card.
